The Holocaust Novel (Paperback, New Ed)

Holocaust literature is recognized as a major postwar literary genre, but there is little consensus as to its generic definition. As an addition to the Genres in Context series, The Holocaust Novel provides the first comprehensive generic study of Holocaust literature. This student-friendly volume answers a dire need for readers to understand a genre in which boundaries are often blurred between history fiction, autobiography and memoir. The Holocaust Novel offers a student guide to holocaust literature, along with an annotated bibliography, chronology and further reading list. Major texts discussed include such widely taught works as Night Maus, The Shawl, Schindler's List, Sophie's Choice, White Noise and Time's Arrow.
